    <body><![CDATA[I'm going to go ahead and give this five stars.  It's not a perfect book, certainly not from a literary point of view.  It was didactic at times, occasionally draggy with lengthy lecture-like dialogue and inner monologue, and some of its plot twists were highly contrived.

That's not necessarily a deal breaker for me; if a book is beautifully written, I'm willing to forgive a lot.  But this is not beautifully written.  In fact, the dialogue is frequently pain...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73188166">more...</a>]]></body>

It also shows the many different kinds of therapists and therapies that can occur, without judging which one is right or wrong. Gave me a first insight to the world of psychotherapy =)]]></body>
